You also have utter disdain for my values, so you have that in common with them. As though your armed gangs and flag are any better than theirs.
And I realize that they aren't "shining a light on police behavior" to people like you. Instead of seeing what is really happening, police killing indiscriminately, almost never held to account, all you see is what you think the blacks want to happen.
Well, save that shit for someone else. It's much easier to try to attack what you think might happen instead of acknowledging what really is happening with your blessing, blood on your hands.

I forgot. It's a special election to fill Sessions seat and the filing deadline passed long ago. Only the primary winners can be on the general ballot so the winner is safe until the term expires in 2020. PTB can only back the Democrat if Roy wins. Who knows, maybe the Chamber does want to spend another 30 million for another spanking but it will turn out even worse for them without McConnell and Trump who would never decide to end their careers by publicly backing a Dem in Alabama.

Good for you. None of that is even true. There is nothing left of a free market or a constitutional form of government. And I doubt the vast majority of them want anything exterminated. Sure, they want more government favors and tyranny, but so do you.
I'm on the side I've always been on, and that's mine against the rulers. The singular action of failing to show the proper reverence to our almighty's flag is one I wholeheartedly support. I also like them shining a light on police behavior, even if most white people are too stupid to understand what it means for them.

What was it that Donald Trump said in 2013 about Presidents telling NFL owners what to do.... Oh yeah!
Sounds like he should take his own advice. The country has far bigger problems. In fact, there is no problem with NFL players kneeling in any way whatsoever. Yet here is Trump getting involved. And why? Because he knows all the idiots will fight over that instead of paying attention to the real problems:
Such as Trump boosting military spending by $500 BILLION to a total of $1,000,000,000,000 (that is TRILLION for those who don't want to count zeroes)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/18/us/politics/senate-pentagon-spending-bill.html?mcubz=0
40,000 civilians were murdered in Iraq by US military forces

Out of rep for you, but I was about to say the same thing. This thread just makes me sad. Fuck police at NFL games, I wish we could boycott paying the police at all.
Anyone that wants to kneel or sit or pull down their pants and point their bare ass at any of the sacred symbols of the national religion, for any reason whatsoever, has my full blessing to do so.

I propose that the best way to convince these people all white people aren't the same is to help them fight federally militarized police. I propose that no one should pass up a chance to put a dent in the federal militarization of police because they might get close enough to some socialist in the process to explain to them why socialism leads to things like federally militarized police afterward. I propose Count had a point when he said the right place to be might be on the knee next to those protestors.

Did it even stir those hairs on your scalp when the point flew over your head?
If the powers that be can fill the internet with people who claim to be libertarian spewing stuff that isn't libertarian, if they can ignore the people who created the 'Tea Party' and tell the public it's something else so loudly and so often that the Tea Party actually turns into something else, why couldn't they fill a movement against militarized police full of communists and bigoted blacks and then give their own plants within that movement all the publicity?
Do we know those people any better than they know libertarians? Or are we falling for the same fake news they fall for? Have you personally scratched below the surface of it?

One word? When it comes to defending Trump, you can write thousand word essays and stand on your head.
Why isn't it guilt by association? If the powers that be can spew deplorable nonsense and call themselves libertarian while doing it, causing people to be leery of us, then why can't they divide us from the anti-fascist police movement by trying to tie it to communism?

I agree with this.
And WHY is an athlete kneeling getting more attention and whining from Trump, & the forum, than the violent protests that have emerged?
Peaceful protesting should be what we are all in favor of- no matter which side you favor.

No. The MSM is pushing that scenario like they always do to coral the voters away from ultra conservatives like Moore towards moderates like Strange. But polling shows the opposite. The last Emmerson poll has Moore beating Dem. Jones 52-30 and Strange beating Jones 49-36. Election day would be more like 65-35 I'd guess. Alabama is so red the Dems did not even field a candidate against Sessions last time. He got 100%. If Moore can survive 30 million of smears and win the primary he can survive 50 million and win the general. I doubt the Dems want to go bankrupt on a suicide mission in Alabama anyway but they are morons at the top so who knows.
I think a slightly more likely scenario would be the Establishment runs Strange in the general election as an independed when he loses the primary. like they did against Joe Miller in Alaska. But depending on whether Alabama has a sore loser law that might be impossible. In a 3 way race all bets are off of course.

Trip Pittman gave a passionate speech at the rally saying Judge Moore saying he has always admired Judge Moore and that he will defend the Constitution. Moore brought up Rand Paul and blasted the Senate for shooting down his Harvey amendment to curtail foreign aid, very critical of foreign aid saying it's not in the Constitution.
Moore isn't perfect but he'll be the only one besides Rand taking a stand on some things. On issues like enumerated powers he might be even more vocal than Rand. He will tilt at some of the right windmills no matter the cost. Looking forward to tonight's results!

Opposing their kneeling is not going to change their opinion as to what the solution should be. Supporting them in trying to change things and then engaging them in reasoned discussion about the best solution to the country's problems would be more productive.
The person best able to have that conversation is the person kneeling beside them.

There are already laws against police abuse of authority and brutality. A hundred more laws will not change anything if juries refuse to convict.
The problem is culture. I would argue that the culture that can't bear athletes kneeling during the national anthem is the same culture that sees police as beyond reproach and an entity that needs to be supported regardless of its actions. It is a religion of state which will not bear any 'offense' against it.
Which side is disrespecting the nation's ideals? The group attempting to make things better, but whose methods you disagree with, or the group attempting to quash dissent?

Hey, just FWIW, if you ever get into prose poetry/epic poetry (ala Pushkin), you would probably enjoy the books and software by Randy Ingermason. His stuff is geared toward novelists, but it's useful for complicated poetry as well, IMO. ~hugs~ Try self-publishing your stuff on Amazon, etc, btw. It's more lucrative than Big Publishing nowadays, IMO. "Writing Fiction For Dummies" is pretty much a must-have too. Not only does it cover the craft, it gets into the business of selling a book, publishing, etc. (again, geared toward novelists, but good for everyone) ttyl. ~hugs~
